A Deltona man may have thought he was being funny when he asked for "a blunt and some herbs" – slang for marijuana – at the drive-through lane of a restaurant, but the cashier and Volusia County deputy sheriffs got the last laugh.
Shawn Porter, 32, is being held in the Volusia County Branch Jail near Daytona Beach with bail set at $1,000 on a charge of felony possession of marijuana.
It began with a late-night visit to the Burger King at 2790 Elkcam Blvd. in Deltona, Sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said.
Porter and another man were in a white Saturn that pulled into the drive-through lane just before 10:30 p.m. Thursday and when it came time to order, one of them yelled that he wanted "a blunt and some herbs," Davidson said.
"When they drove up to the window, the cashier said she could smell the scent of marijuana coming from the car," Davidson said.
One of the store's managers could also smell marijuana. She told a 911 operator she was outside in the store's playground when the car passed by.
"I could smell the scent of weed – marijuana," she told the operator.
She then learned about the "blunt" order and said she decided to call with a description of the car and its tag number.
"It's not that it's a major emergency," she told the operator. "It's more of a nuisance than anything.
"I wanted to report their tag number because they are smoking drugs in the car," she said.
